im in my mid-20's and my mother still gives me sermon/homily!

being nagged at your age does not mean that our parents is being unfair to us....there are still things that we as adults still needs to follow....or there are things that we might have done that have irritated our parents, thus we get nagged at being given a homily...

Haha! .. You are not alone my friend. Same thing also with my mom. She keeps on repeating things over and over again, well thats what mothers are i guess. So redundant that we often find them annoying. . Hey, i'm in my early 30's now and she still doing that to me. Whether we be on our 40's, 50's they'll still nag us and thats for sure! haha! .. (",)

And guess what!!! It ain't going to stop anytime soon. I thought that the sermons and nagging would end when I left home. Boy was I wrong. I am now 50 years old and they call me to tell me stuff. Usually it is about money, investments, relationships, etc. The topics tend to be the same no matter how many years go by. You are in your mid-20's. You have a long way to go yet. Good luck. LOL

hahahahaha ,i didn't know this and i advised u abt mother in last discussion ,get married man ,ur mother is just concerned ,show her u are independent and take care of urself ,i'm sure u get up late and don't care for ur stuff and call ur mom when u don't get them and things like that ,grow up secret.

you're not the only one girl! im already 25 yet my parents especially my mom feels it is her right to give a sermon and make changes or decisions in my life. sometimes i really hate it. though i know i've made mistakes and i do regret them, it doesnt mean that im worse for worst and that i cant do anything better. i can decide for myself and though i've mistakes in my life, i made sure that i can stand up for it and that i am responsible for it. i make her realize that though that i've made mistakes before, its my life and i can really decide for my self and its not her or her concerns that should concern me but what i thought would be best for me, for my baby and for our future that concerns me now.

Hi Secretbear, to tell the truth, I quite envy you that you mummy could nag you everyday. You might understand what I am saying when you are away from home longer. You know, my parents esp. my dad used to nag me whenever he met me, what's worse, all he saw from me were bad points, he almost critized me for everything that I did. I even dard not to say a word and did any action when he was in front of me. The situation totally chance when I went to colleague, which is 900 km away from home, when I could only went back home several times a year. He beccame so gentle and good to me, even he still like treating me as a child. And he started to treat me as a grow-up and friend. After I work in another city, my mum and dad become more thinkable for me. I kind of like hearing from their serman now, and I would just give them a call once a week or so, they seem to be very happy to hear from me and really want me to take good care of myself since they are too far away to take care of me. Yep, we are in parents' eyes, will alway be their children, it is nature that your mum still treats you as a child then. I hope you could just treasure it more now, you know, as time goes on, she might not be there to nag you any more. With kind regards, Andy

my parents do the same thing, i'm 25 with 3 kids and i still can't participate in the adult drawing during christmas time! i know how u feel, everytime my mom comes over she complains about this and that, and lectures me, but i just say well u didn't do any of that when i was growing up or u didn't teach me to be like that! she hates that!

that's okay my friend.. mother knows best! LOL! don't be disturbed by that because I myself is a confessed person with a mother who makes it a point to say something in what I do.. ( the fact that I am married makes it unacceptable ) I am only 27 and I view that as motherly love instead of mother blah blah of something which makes me mad too. :)

I think every mother is just like that, maybe because we will always be their baby no matter how old or young we may be. They are just concern about us. Even my Mom still gives sermon to me and my brothers even now that they have their own family, but not always. I'm just glad she never do it in the morning =)

parents can be like that and sometimes they will keep the sermons/lectures till the day they die, remember in their eyes ur always their little baby. In her eyes it's how she shows she cares and loves you, it's how she cares. You could always try having a conversation with your mother, but a calm one, explaining that you're older now and would like some space. But remember that you might just miss it once it stops!

Don't feel so bad about your mother's sermon.My mama always gives me sermon ;p No matter how old I am,I think I'm still a little child in my mum's eyes,so her sermon just shows her love to me.Though sometimes her sermon isn't nice and reasonible,I always accept it.Because she is my mum,the person who gave me life.

Me and my mother were in two different cities, see rare year several times, often to the past by the mother in my ear exhorts the case, a very warm feeling, so I really envy you.

don't worry, you're not alone. i'm already in my late 30's, married, with a 1 1/2 year old son and still i get "sermon" from my mom. i guess that's their way of showing concern for us. probably they have so many things to worry about that when they try to give us advice or discipline us, they end up becoming a nag. i just don't know if i'll also end up like her when my son grows older...i just hope not. anyway, just think of it this way...that's how most moms show their love and concern for their children.

Here's mine that's getting a little out of hand. "Where's my grandchild, where's my grandchild" It does ruin things and usually thats my cue to tune out. She'll even divert a completely different conversation to that one topic a lot of times we talk. I always say "ask your youngest, looking at the institution and the variables, hes the pony I'd bet on".

Unfortunatelt that is a mothers roll. I am 31 and my mom finally realised that nagging me was not the way to go and now all she does is gives her opnion and lets me take it and either use it or not. she realised that the final decision is mine and only mine and nagging is not the way to get things done. Your best bet is to talk to her and let her know how you feel. You never know what is going to happen.

All I can say is that there is no escape from that, I have an unmarried aunt that lives with my grandma and she still gets the routine sermon everyday, I think she has already mastered the art of ignoring what she hears. Into one ear and out to the other I guess. And as our parents get older, they really tend to nag more, but they are still our parents and the best thing to do is understand them although sometimes it could be too much to handle.

LOL, my mother is noisy too in our house, but we get used to it. imagine my sister who is 30 yrs old and is being nagged? dont worry its not only you who are in the same situation.

I know what you mean.. I'm turning 25 soon but my mother still treats me like a teen ager! she nags me a lot too, usually when we are eating dinner (which I hate because all of my siblings join in.)ugghh.And i'm the eldest in our brood.

Maybe your mom sees some qualities in you, unbeknown to you that she would like you to improve on. It seems unfair and irritating but believe me she is doing this for your best interest at heart. I know I was your age and felt the same way, but now that I'm older and a parent I see the reasons my mom was trying to grill me. Now I have a son that doesn't clean up after himself, sleeps in, and doesn't do chores. Of course, I drill him constantly about being responsible and of course he does the same thing I did when I was younger to my mother. Completely tune me out or ignore me. But, you will be in the same position as your mother one day so try to listen to her and keep the lines of communication open. Sometimes we get a little finicky with the ones we love so dearly our children. And even tho you all grown up you will always be our babies.

Hi all, I am 30 years old. And my mom still does that too and my grandma is 86 and still does it to mom who is 52 . It goes like this forever. But to be honest with you all. It never bugs me. Because there is only one person who wants the best for you is mom. There is a saying in my country " For you, only mom cries the rest are all fake cries "
